The journey to this moment took a village of people that really hung in there for me. During the ups and downs. To these people I TRULY owe this degree to them. There are a few people that I would like to thank for helping me get to this point (In no particular order).
1. Dr. D: has given me a lot of strength when I didn't even know I had the strength to finish.
2. Sunshine mom (Theretha): being the unconditional support when things were a little rough
3. Young mom (Meghan): helping me understand what the meaning of unconditional friendship
4. Chemo Mom (Janice): being the voice of reason when I wanted to kill this cancer experience
5. Dr. Hugs a lot: for being so understanding when I really disliked our visits
6. The Neurosurgeon: for supporting my outrageous physical goals (just so that I can fell "normal")
7. My friends: for dealing with my daily naps in the middle of the day and "bad" days
8. My family: for giving me an ear when I had no idea what I should do next.
***THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE FOR ME!! You have NO idea how much this means to me. For all the time spent listening to my hard moments, from giving me a little financial support, taking time out of your busy schedules to fly/drive/walk to me when I need you. I have no idea how to thank you more. I have this moment for a life time because of you all.
"It's easy for you not to be overwhelmingly happy with this moment because the people who love you are extremely elated for your success."- A smart young man. I understand that I should be happy with this degree but honestly, the glory goes to all of you.
There is a future after cancer and I am happy to let people know that from my experience. I will be moving into my next steps of being a working woman.
WITH ALL MY LOVE & RESPECT!!
